Title : Association between colorectal, cytokines and micrRNA
Abstract : Colorectal cancer refers to the cancer that occurs in the large intestines or rectum. Internationally it is the third most prevalent cancer and primarily affects senior citizens of the age of 70 and above. To review the relationship between colorectal cancer, cytokines and Micro RNA. The review adopted a systematic literature review (SLR). The data was mainly secondary and included a variety of studies. 25 articles were included in the review. After secondary review and the consideration of the exclusion criterion of the survey, only 20 studies were included. The review revealed that miRNA and cytokines are important in the development of cancer therapies.

Title : Errors during root canal treatment performed by dental students
Abstract : Root canal treatment (RCT) errors such as ledges, perforations, blockages, broken instruments or overfilling could lead to bad prognosis and treatment failure. The assessment of such errors at preclinical stages of dental students could highlight aspects that require improvement in endodontic teaching. This study analysed dental radiographs to determine the error types that could occur during RCT performed by 4th year dental students at preclinical stages. Different types of endodontic errors were investigated in root canal-treated teeth (n = 1320 extracted teeth). The treatment was previously performed with approximately consistent preparation using step-back hand instrumentation and obturation with cold lateral compaction. Two examiners assessed the radiographs following achieving intra- and inter-examiner agreements. The data were analysed statistically using SPSS software. The results showed significant differences in the occurrence of different types of errors during RCT (P≤0.05). The errors were less likely to occur during the phases of opening access and instrumentation than during the phase of obturation. In this final phase, errors such as underfilling and voids were most frequent. In conclusion, the quality of RCT was poor, especially at the phase of obturation. Improving pre-clinical teaching methods, such as increasing training sessions and the number of supervisors, seems to be mandatory to reduce such technical errors.

Title : Insufficient Light Intensity in Classrooms and Asthenopia among Preclinical Medical Students
Abstract : Insufficient light intensity in the classroom might be related to asthenopia in students, and consequently have a detrimental impact on learning performance. The aim of this study was to measure light intensity in classrooms, and to investigate the factors associated with asthenopia among 507 preclinical medical students. Light intensity was measured at all seats in classrooms, and compared to the standard issued by Department of Labour Protection and Welfare, Thailand. Asthenopia and associated factors were also investigated. The average light intensity in the 1st year classroom passed the standard, while lighting in the 2nd and 3rd year classrooms failed to reach the standard. The remarkable findings were that the students who sit at the seat with lower spotlight intensity had a significantly higher prevalence of asthenopia (OR=0.993, 95%CI=0.989-0.998). Female had higher prevalence of asthenopia than male (OR=3.571, 95%CI=1.602,7.958). The students who had myopia had higher prevalence of asthenopia than the students who had normal sight (OR=2.694, 95%CI=1.205,6.022). Therefore, the results can be used to conclude that insufficient light intensity in classrooms had an effect on asthenopia among preclinical medical students.

Title : Thoracic epidural is more effective in decreasing intraoperative opioid needs and postoperative pain score compared to pecs block in modified radical mastectomy surgeries
Abstract : Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is generally carried out under general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia provides hemodynamic stability and fewer post-surgical complications. This study evaluates the effectiveness of pectoral block I and II anesthesia compared to thoracic epidural anesthesia in MRM. This is an experimental research using a permuted block randomization sampling. This study involved 26 patients aged 18-70 years who underwent breast surgery with the laryngeal mask airway. Group A of 13 people received pectoral block I and II techniques, while the group B of 13 people received thoracic epidural technique. The mean arterial pressure and heart rate in both groups did not show any significant difference during the course of the surgery. Resting NRS is lower in group B compared to group A at 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively. The classification of postoperative NRS in both groups referred to the mild pain category. The thoracic epidural technique is more effective in reducing postoperative pain scores compared to pecs block. Both techniques provide similar effectiveness in maintaining hemodynamic stability during surgery.

Title : Multiplex PCR Method for Identifying Old World cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Camp for Displaced
Abstract : One of the most common dermal diseases and public health concerns is cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania spp. The objective of the present study was to identify the Leishmania species causes cutaneous leishmaniasis directly in biological samples using multiplex PCR in patients of displaced camp, taking into consideration both age and site of lesion. During the period from October to the end of December / 2019 , a total of 76 infected patients with single lesion were underwent analysis including 31 female and 45 male aged 20-53 years old, scrap samples from dermal lesions on face or arms were prepared for DNA extraction for multiplex polymerase chain reaction PCR. Results revealed that Leishmania spp. was detected in 63 sample (82.89% ) included the infection rate of Leishmania.tropica 68.2% (43out of 63) and of Leishmania major 31.7% (20 out of 63).On the other hand , male showed higher infection rate 60.3% (38/63) than females 39.6% (25/63). Also, 13 samples didn't get any amplification (17.1%). For the site of lesions, higher percentage of frequency 65% was shown in face while low percentage recorded for arm 22.9%. This study concluded that methods based on DNA analysis, like multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are reliable for the diagnosis and identification of Leishmania species. As well, determination of the geographic distribution of specific species caused is important in epidemiological studies because it allows and appropriate control measures.
